I needed more information on how to manage Chronic Pancreatistis at home, such as diet and exercise. What to expect in the future for my health. The nurse did help a little bit.

Dr. Hathaway has a great bed side manner. I did have to wait, but once he entered the room, he did not try to rush through the visit so he could stay on schedule. He allowed me to ask questions. I have cirrhosis and thought I knew everything I needed to know about my disease. The care I received was well worth the wait.
